Banking & Financial Services Law for Attorneys: A 2009 Perspective Registration for the live event closes on May 13, 2009 @ 11 pm (ET). Summary: In 2009, the regulatory frameworks governing U.S. banks and other financial institutions are truly complex. The subprime credit crisis and its repercussions are further complicating this arena as participants in the financial services sector suffer accounting, economic, and other losses and seek to respond to the government's regulatory and enforcement initiatives.
This Live Webcast will provide a comprehensive overview of the current U.S. system of regulation of depository institutions and asset management and the unique issues involved in advising banks and other financial institutions in the current regulatory environment. This program will also address how to satisfy certain compliance requirements, how to advise entities subject to multiple regulations, how to manage bank failures, how the new FDIC resolutions affect banks and other financial institutions, and how to confront the ethical challenges facing financial services attorneys. This program is appropriate for all attorneys representing domestic and international financial institutions. Speakers at the program will include representatives from both the public and private sectors. The event will take place on May 14, 2009, 3:00pm to 5:00pm (ET).

Smith Partner WilmerHale Sara Kelsey Counsel Bank of America Corporation Stacie E. McGinn Deputy General Counsel, Global Consumer and Small Business Banking Event Agenda/High Level Points to be Discussed: - A Regulatory Carol: A Discussion of What Got Us to the Crisis; Where We Are Now and; Where We Are Going in the U S Regulation of Financial Services - With considerable deference to Charles Dickens, our panel will explore the "Ghosts" of Regulation Past, Present and Future as they illuminate the environment in which the current credit crisis developed, the efforts now underway to cope with the situation and the plans being discussed for revamping the regulatory apparatus. This important discussion by three 'old hands' who are deeply immersed in advising clients on these issues will be of genuine interest to those financial services professionals seeking to better cope with and identify opportunities in the current situation." - The Ghost(s) of Christmas Past: - The subprime crisis: How could a few defaulting borrowers cause so much trouble? New Century, to American Home, to Countrywide - The spreading doubt about financial institution balance sheets - The liquidity crisis: Bear Sterns, Indymac, Fannie and Freddie, Lehman, AIG, Washington Mutual, Wachovia - The capital crisis: Citi and a host of others - The fraud crisis: Madoff, Stanford - The regulatory crisis: lack of understanding/knowledge or control over: risks associated with a variety of market practices; systemically important institutions; the shadow banking system; the interconnected nature of global capital markets; and the ramifications of an ad hoc approach to problems in specific institutions. - The Ghost(s) of Present Credit Crisis Programs - The present credit crisis programs fall into three major categories: - Stabilization of the liability side of bank balance sheets - Temporary life support systems to maintain past credit market arrangements - Workout of problem assets - The first two types of programs buy time and attempt to keep all the balls in the air. At the same time, they perpetuate many of the most serious flaws of past business and regulatory models through their: - lack of transparency, accountability, capital, liquidity, skin in the game and risk-management, and - presence of excess cheap funding, leverage, off-balance sheet assets, and asset-liability maturity mismatch - The programs have bought us needed time, but will at our peril obscure our very real need to: - work out the underlying problem assets, and - reform the business and regulatory models to strengthen the global financial system so this will not happen again - "Ghost" of Future Regulation - Restructuring the Federal Financial Regulatory Agencies to improve supervision and regulation of all critical aspects of the US financial system. - Establishing a Mechanism and Standard for the Regulation for Financial Activities not currently supervised/regulated. - A Global Framework to address future financial services regulation. - Updating the U S bank supervisory and examination process - stress testing, risk management and internal controls impacting what are permissible activities. - Consumer Protection - Related initiatives in upcoming U S financial regulation.
